The Flanders Peninsula / Bart Lodewijks

Roma Publication 190

Invited by the City of Ronse, Lodewijks worked between 2010 and 2012 in the working class Prinskouter District where he was making drawings with blackboard chalk on a variety of walls. Starting by drawing on anonymous walls and industrial property, he became a known face in the area and succeeded to get permision to draw on facades and interiors of private homes. Next to images the book offers a beautiful text written by the artist about his encounters with the people in the neigbourhood. Text in Dutch and English. Design: Roger Willems.
